    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Lack of proper vetting, or he joined before his run. Yes, I'm sure. Ear to the ground. Or, stone, perhaps. That's... not that difficult. Being a Master Mason and then running a lodge for a year gets you there, pretty much. Not that he has run a lodge, mind you.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    The Grand Lodge of Freemasonry of North Carolina is investigating a certain someone for conduct unbecoming a Mason. Expulsion from the fraternity is on the table.

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    Critical successes generate hope? I thought it was just better than a typical success.

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    In a previous video Joe mentioned that the Bledsaws would receive a 10% royalty. The previous Kickstarter garnered ~$85k, I believe. The number of units were to be capped so that total proceeds would be at or less than ~$850k.

    OSR Black Blade Publishing and the OSR Community

    Huh. Thinking i might make it to NTRPG Con this year, and I see it's this weekend. Sigh. Maybe next year...

    D&D (2024) Psionics: What Do You Want?

    I like this list. Thematically, it should feel different than magic. Ideally, there should be some separation between the two; there are effects that are unique to them. For example, magic can summon creatures while psionics can have greater flexibility with mental communication and influence.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    Because he can? I find this a strange criticism when others are more pertinent.

    What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?

    Impressive, and bald faced hornets are indeed drops of crystalized hate. That's a damp forest. The undergrowth didn't catch, but it looks like at the end that tree is in a bit of trouble. The hive post-treatment is quite crispy, and it seems like it's at the base of the tree. I can only assume...

    What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?

    That's in a tree, in a forest. I got your "unintended consequences" right here.

    D&D General 1s and 20s: D&D's Narrative Mechanics

    I've used them as such. In the previous campaign, the two wizards bound a potent fire elemental into a sword. Naturally, they gave the sword to the paladin. In a major but non-climactic fight, the paladin's player rolled three 1s in a row. This created great amusement for nearly everyone at...

    D&D General Eastern Dragons in 5e

    You know, not as much (although it is excellent). I took me a minute, but he's too human. If the musculature was other than "buff human" that would be interesting. I appreciate it, but it doesn't inspire like the other one. It's the clothes, their cut, the different weapon, the little runes...

    D&D General Eastern Dragons in 5e

    This picture is everything I want a dragonborn to be. I absolutely love it. Alternatively, of course he's a dragon taking human form. He must be getting lax with the other dragonborn around.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    The exit clause could be "Pay Bob Jr $2500, and the contract is void." It might be that Mr. Goodman finds the current path more acceptable. Would it be acceptable for Joe Goodman post "I've heard you; the project is dead in its entirety and I've paid the Bledsaws the monetary penalty for such"...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    At this point, for me, I want to know if there is a fail clause in the contract. I'm not entitled to know, Joe Goodman may not be allowed to state that one way or there other. But, the only way this makes sense is if GG has to publish CSIO by [Date] or cut Judge's Guild a check for $X. It may be...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    He can't absolutely guarantee that the royalties generated are equal to or less than refunds claimed. He's just stating the "what if".
